Still unable to get permission to perform in Opening Ceremony and now facing the prospect that they will be excluded from the Ayanagi Festival all together, Hoshitani and the others try to at least get their class performance time slot back. However, through their exchanges with Irinatsu and Kasugano, positive feelings for wanting to be acknowledged by the Kao Council have begun to emerge in the group. Though others, such as Nanjo, voice their doubts and a past relationship between him and Fuyusawa lead the others to wonder where Nanjo's loyalties really lie.
I couldn't bring myself to keep 
such a promising kohai hidden,
Ich wollte einen so begabten Kohai
nicht im Schatten lassen,
No podía permitirme tener oculto
a un asistente tan prometedor,
No podía permitirme tener oculto

gâcher ton brillant avenir,
Non sopportavo di tener nascosto
 un kohai così talentuoso,
Eu não conseguiria manter um
kouhai tão promissor escondido,
